Bucket brigade

What do we mean? We’re talking about those short bridge phrases that can make your copy conversational and keep your reader moving towards a call to action. How? Well, you could ask and then answer a question. Or insert short, conversational phrases such as: ‘you know why?’, ‘it gets better’, ‘and that’s just the beginning’.

Also known as ‘grease-slide copywriting’.

Try this

Insert three bridge phrases ("Here's the thing:", "But wait:", "And it gets better:") to break up your longest paragraph.
